Environment variables

– only available for individual devices and OUs –

Environment variables can be used locally on the device. They contain strings.

Defining environment variables

  1. In the Advanced device configuration, click the Environment tab.

    Previously defined variables are shown in the list. Entries from a parent OU are shown with a >>.

  2. Click New.
  3. Enter the required variable using the format:
    Variable name=value
    and confirm with OK.

    The new variable is shown in the list.

  4. To encrypt the value of the variable, right-click the variable. Then from the context menu, choose Encrypt value.

When you apply the defined variables later on, make sure you prefix the variable with a dollar sign: $<Variable name>. For further information, see also Where to apply user variables.
